For those who are incontinent

For those who have real incontinence, who would you say that you leak? IE, is it a slow almost continual drip, a sudden release of a full bladder.

wet andrea

Hello

I can be just minding my own business doing my thing and have my Detrusor muscle (muscle that surrounds bladder) go into spasm and decide now is the time or it is time to go and make me pee. Thus accidents and the wearing of thick adult diapers to keep me active and part of this crazy world! LOL

Take care!

For me its sudden releases without even feeling it till Im soaked and it worse after I eat cause it just comes in multiple bursts. By time Im cleaned and changed Im back soaked and it last for about an hour.Then it goes back to spaced out releases.

Depending on the circumstances, i can either a small quick leak or get a sudden urge that i can't hold. I've never been the steady drip type.

Well for me it started as urge wich means a sudden burst from not being able to hold it long at all, now its more of a bunch of smaller bursts throughout the night time hours . during the dya my brain recives the message usaly in time enough for me to reach the washroom.

Before the stimulator was installed it was just a slow leak, but now it comes with an urge and no way to stop it. But having a bladder that empty with out a catheter is alot better than using one twice a day. 😉

I don't feel my bladder getting full anymore. I have sudden urges and can't make it to the bathroom, as well as when I touch water or get near running water, I start going automatically. I can be laying in bed and hear my wife peeing in the toilet and I will start to go in my diaper. Because of this, I wear really good diapers all the time. Can't afford to have a leak at work or while I am out in public.

My bladder is permanently dripping small amounts 24/7 So i never feel a full bladder cus its always empty.

My boy friend knows and my parents know and a few friends know they all think I am a bedweetr but i still wet whell awake

For me, it started out as a gerat urge. Then, it slowly started to leak a bit. The worst moment was when I had to lift a heavy patient into an ambulance. WOW!!!

I would say it is a overwhelming urge to start. When I do try to go to the bathroom, it is a great relief but very short lived.

I find that the first 20 minutes to half an hour after I go, I seem to leak constantly. If I can get past that 20 minutes or so

I am fine, much easier said than done.

Yes people do notice. I find it most embarrassing if it happens in front of friends or family,its difficult to hide a BM even a small one, i don't have so much of a problem if i don't know the person or people.

I have a stent in the bladder kneck so it's a constant flow.

I dont really know it just happens if i dont have a diaper on my pants end up wet i get mad then i put 1 on like myself to dry out for at least an hour after i take a bath

All the sudden i just started peeing my panties in the mall, no warning or anything so i tried adult diapers and liked them so now i wear 24/7 and i love it. i also wear panties over the diapers. not as much crinkle or bulge in public!!

I use a wheelchair, so I am usually good until I have to transfer out of the chair, usually into my car if it has been 4 or more hours since I last changed myself. In those cases, if it leaks, it seems to be a sudden release of a about a cup of liquid held in the material in the diaper and if I am lucky it stays in the diaper, if not, it runs down the pants leg.

I have incontinence and i have sudden bursts of pee coming out of my bladder and into my diapers.it is a continual drip sometimes,but not all the time.

For me it is an urgent need to go and then before I can get my Nappy down it is a flood.

squirmy

I seem to go constantly. If I take a drink of coffee or anything I can feel the warm pee just leaking out. I know that sometimes I will go four or five times in an hour. A wet diaper feels good to me 😳.

I have a rather strong bladder; the wetting accidents I've had in the last couple years were just a result of me being stubborn and full of caffeine. If I can't hold it anymore, it starts with a squirt or two, before my bladder contracts and the stream starts. I can stop the stream for a second or two but after each stoppage the stream gets progressively stronger.

However, I think I might have some form of bowel incontinence, given how intensely my urges are and how often close calls and soiling accidents occur. These incidents occur when I don't go regularly, at least once or twice a day. If it's been a couple days since my last bowel movement, the urge I get is often strong and sudden, and when it comes about I can only hold it in for a few minutes.

Oh, how I wish that I were a "dribbler". But I have urge incontinence, so I am - way, way too often - a "flooder", which can overwhelm the absorption capacity of my diaper. Therefore, I always use at least one booster pad. I also try to void into my diaper as often as I can so that my floods are not so heavy.

For me it is a very strong sudden urge, then a wet diaper.

I notice the worst urge is after I actually go for a pee (in the toilet), for about 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour after the pain is excruciating, during which I leak alot. If I can make that 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour without leaking I do fine, but doesn't happen very often. 😳

For me most time it is a steady slow stream, I can not feel when my bladder is full. I also have overflow inc. and retainage so my bladder is never empty. I now have to cath. two to three times a day to empty my bladder to help prevent infection.

I leak a little at a time and I leak less when I my bladder is full and more right after I go pee.. At night I leak when I turn my body at the waist. An when I don't want to get up to pee.

For me it happens when I stand up or get down from my van or bend over and even just thinking about going to the loo. Also if I am getting ready to pee in the toilet, it starts before I mean to, or whilst I am taking my pants down. Sometimes I get a strong urge and cannot stop a small squirt, but sometimes a longer squirt, or a succession of squirts. Other times I realise I am leaking after I have got over the urge and am fooled into thinking its gone away. Some days it is much worse than others and I seem to squirt every 15 minutes or so. Fortunately this has never happened in my sleep and has only been a real problem in the last five months; before that much less prevalent.

Ive had trouble for the past year and now in adult incontinence pads with net pants through the day and tabbed nappies at night due to back nerve dammage

I'm not sure I follow the theme of this thread but reading it I'm gathering it's about the actual manner of incontinence and how it is for each of us. . . which I have to say is absolutely facinating.

My incontinence is bladder only, and variable, but think I can characterize it to a degree:

For me it's usually precceded with a strong urge, at times so intense that it's actually very painful but thankfully not often that bad. More commonly the urge is just so intense that it's only painful if I really try to hold it back, and since even when I do it only buys me maybe a few seconds to not even a minute it's not worth it. Weirldy, I can have urgency like that and actually be unable to pee at all, even if I'm trying to, which of course leads to frustration, anxiety and pain. Othertimes when the urge is more 'gentle' the wetting can also be more gentle, and lower in volume though it's still often hard to stop. (I know, complicated right?!) I guess the short from is that the urge comes suddlenly, and once it does I often can't wait long enough to avoid an accident.. . So protective underwear on the better days, diapers on the worse days and thats sort of it.

I have urge incontinence. I don't feel my bladder filling up gradually. I get sudden intense urges that lead to my bladder to begin emptying itself uncontrollably unless I can get to the bathroom in a minute or two. How much I void at one time depends upon how full my bladder is. The urges often seem to be precipitated by a change in position, such as getting up out of bed or from a chair or getting out of the car. However, if I've been sitting or lying down for a long time, an urge will come on without a change In position. Hearing or touching water or approaching a bathroom door may also precipitate an urge. The urges can become quite painful if I try to "hold it" for more than a minute or so, and I will eventually reach the point where I start leaking despite holding. Fortunately, emptying my bladder always relieves the discomfort until the next time.

I have lots of bladder issues, and not to get better, retention, continuous bladder spasms, flaccid bladder leaking inner bladder sphincter, my leaking can be much worse after I use the bathroom, I need to self cath 4 times per day also to make sure I'm empty too....on and on it goes.....

I tend to dribble urine on and of all day but at night once asleep I have no control over my bladder. I wet heavily and sometimes more than once during the night.
